I just finished reading this book by Kevin Cook. Nothing surprising, but it’s got almost all the stories, including many that I’d never previously read. Excellent if you like that sort of thing. It’s just too bad Thompson wasn’t around to golf-hustle Michael Jordan, back when that was big business.
Does it have the one where he trains a dog to jump off and then hustles passerbys into betting him the dog won’t jump? Does it have the one where he employs Lee Elder, who went on to be the first black golfer to play in the Masters, as his chauffeur and then makes bets where he says, “Heck, my chauffeur and I could beat your country club’s two best players.”
1. No
2. Yes. The book actually has a lot of golf stories. I could care less about golf but the author is a golf writer.
But it has the one with a dog, a lake and a ton of rocks….tremendous book!
